What is a DMO (Dental Maintenance Organization)?
A DMO is a discount fee plan for dental treatment. The DMO requires each insured member to designate a dental service provider. Therefore if a patient wants to come to SDA, they need to call their plan office and tell them they want SDA as their provider. The fees that each provider charges are listed on a fee schedule prepared by the DMO. The fees are the same regardless of which dental office the patient visits.
